    Anyone looking for a job with experience in commercial/federal construction? The company I work for is looking at multiple positions for Superintendent, Quality Control, Safety and Project Engineers.

    The company is HHI based out of Utah and with a small office here in Colorado Springs (which I'm based out of).

    If I could get the link to work I'd post that up.

    I'm putting together the pieces for crashnburn's StopTech brake upgrade.

    But by all means if you want/need them you were first.

    Yeah, I'd like to replace my OG brake lines for peace of mind.

    Crashnburn still likes OE calipers, right? I found his recommendations for pads and rotors. Haven't seen any mention of upgraded calipers. I currently have some parts-store remans that are probably fine but might be worth replacing while I'm in there... again, for peace of mind.

    I remember driving over US6 once a month when this was going on, to visit the grandparents in Denver when we lived in Breckenridge.

    I get that in the Tundra with a camper around town. But I drive like an old man.

    Windows tinted at 20%, front and back. $289.13 out the door, took under an hour.
    Would recommend Preferred Window Tint in Fort Collins if anyone is looking to have it done.

    You only need a minimum length 20' recovery strap, (NO HOOKS!) to wrap around the tree and a good D ring that fits your line hook to start. A Recovery strap is not to be confused with a tow strap, make sure it's designed for kinetic pulling. A tow strap generally has hooks on the ends whereas a recovery/snatch strap, also sometimes called a tow strap, will have loops on the ends.
    A recovery strap will be more useful to wrap around trees than a tree saver, which generally don't fit most tree trunks anyway.
    Hooks break and become projectiles that fly thru windshields and crush skulls, again, no hooks!
    You can expand to a snatch block later, if you need that, then the Jeep, Ford, etc, is really stuck and might be better off pushed out of the way so others can safely get by.
    Use your googlefu and enjoy the trip down the rabbit hole.

    I am trying to "repair" an Optima Yellow top 34/78 battery. I have used my Battery Tender to charge up to 13.35v but when I remove the charger it falls down to 12.11v. Would anyone have a NOCO Genius5 with the repair mode that I code borrow before I have to spend $300 + dollars for a new battery? I am in Arvada. Thanks in Advance.
